put it this way, if i would have came across that dog nd i had food i wouldve fed it, just like if someone is in need and i come across them i would help them,i guess i can see the statement he was trying to make but i just think he went about it the wrong way
i agree, but the fact of the matter is that he killed it. He chose to starve it. Had the dog died out in the wild, then i wouldn't really care. if the dog was not strong enough to survive out their i would just say its survival of the fitest. That goes for humans to.
It's one dog. One dog out of thousands. it would have died eventually, so get the fuck over it. I mean, seriously. It's just like when an American dies on foreign soil because of a car accident, or someone's grandma dies. Life goes on. Anything can be art.
We can be concerned about the state of the world in both its small and big issues. There are a lot of big issues to be concerned about but that we as individuals can do nothing about, so we can also care about smaller issues. It is just one dog but he WOULD HAVE LIVED if someone had fed him. What he did was evil and crueland not name it art so he won't get chastised is disgusting.,
Its sad and not art, Is he is doing it to bring focus to the millions of stray dogs that are out there that are dying from lack of care? A good message if so but my worry is that the focus now is not on this message but on the cruelty that he committed by carrying out such an "experiment" and by doing this he also counteracts the message entirely.
I see where hes going with it but i still dont think its art. It is just wrong that he would do that. He couldve saved the dog so it wouldnt have died. But i still understand the point he was trying to make.
its ridiculous! maybe this guy was trying to make a statement.. but hurting any living creature is WRONG. perhaps i should tie this asshole up and not feed him until he is dead and try that as artwork?
Ofcoursce this guy is a piece of shit starving a dog but put him in jail and move on to the bigger problems like millions of starving people and animals!
Wow. People have been trained by the media to put positive spin on anything the guy starves a dog and your like well that makes a little sense. It's not a valid point it's sick
IF HE STARVED THE DOG TO PROVE A POINT ABOUT ALL THE KIDS DIEING AROUND THE WORLD FROM STARVATION AND NO ONE CARES ABOUT THEM,, BUT THEY CARE ABOUT 1 DOG DIEING FROM STARVATION,, WE NEED TO START TO RETHINK HOW WE SPEND OUR MONEY... KILLING THE DOG IS FUCKED UP THOE BRO!!!
Wow the comments on this video are proving his point already. He had to go to such drastic measures because that's the only way to get a point across today. There are 6 billion people in the world. If you wanna say something, you can't whisper.
The fact that Phil even considered that art is really irritating. Lost a little respect for him after that.
The guy killed the dog for shock value. The world isn't surprised by much anymore and it really takes something big to stand out. That's why everyone pushes the envelope. It was for the attention it would generate.
some say that art is anything that raises an emotion. whether that emotion be disgust or awe. i disagree with this definition, art is a result of tallent and skill, that is of itself and does not physically effect others. So no it's not art, tieing up a dog and starving it does not require skill or tallent and definanty has a physical effect on another.
starving a dog is like takeing some 1 off of life suport so it is not wrong sence you can starve people to death and last i checked we are more important then dogs so fuck the animal rights activest if we do it to people we can do it to dogs
@gtrfd3 Oh, your so fucking cool! Animals were made for us to treat them nicely and they will give back for any kindness we show to them, and so fuck it all, right? No, it is not a work of art. If you could tell him, tell him that DorgiChick420 said he is a fat screwed up mexican midget who thinks that killing a thing with a soul and life is a great thing, like abortion. Does he like bloody babies? Oh I am sorry he probably loves bloody-dogs. C'mon bloody-dog-lover!!
sick fucksick fucksick fucksick fucksick fucksick fucksick fucksick fucksick fucksick fucksick fucksick fuck he should have lied him self to the post that would have made a real piont
i think that the artistic part of it i the controversy it caused. the artwork, is that a natural thing, that probably wouldve happened anyway is such a huge thing. Not that he was trying to get attention for it, but that so many people would be so troubled by something that happens to every living thing on earth.
hay i no that im about 2 years late, but i do art and i can see what he was doing with the dog, (only finding out about this like 2 mins ago.) modem art is all about what it shows and how it can reflect the image that u have in ur head. he could have been trying to show that we wont stand for a dog not being feed when however people die every 7 sec or what ever the number is from not having food, and no one cares. love to no what u think about this. plz let me no i would love no what u think.
@CPdownlink i did think about it, did u even read what i said, did i say that i wanted him to do it or i think that its right, no i said that might be what he is trying to say, so read the stuff right before u coment on a 6 month coment dickshit
Vargas was so WRONG, but it was a deep piece of art. He just pointed out that the mojority of people in the world are ignorant and choose to be that way. I kind of wish he didn't take a life to prove his point; even if it is a dog.
QOTD: One of the reasons art exists is to cause contreversy or make people think, so in that way what vargas(I hope I spelled that right) did is technically art. It isn't "good art" but it is art in some way.
There are about 90 % of the world population that are brain dead so i cant blame him for being stupid he should just tie a human on a pole and let him/her starve not an inocent dog or other animal
instead of getting a live stray dog and letting it die (negligence) he should have found an already dead stray dog to stick in his display. would have the same effect (raising awareness about animal suffering) without causing any by his own actions.
I don't think the dog being killed is ART. But I do believe that the animal should be killed if it hurt someone or something like that. It's stupid to kill anything for no reason unless it's a pesky bug.
Hey DUMB ass, religion doesn't make someone stupid, it is their personal beliefs. Maybe you're just saying that because you're deprived and don't have a religion. I feel bad for you.
oh mstfu with ur religious bullshit. U say its pesonal belief yet u dog on him for not having a religion? Real nice. U exemplify perfectly the WHOLE "motto" of religion. Wich is: "We're right and ur wrong, and if u think otherwise ur stupid and should be allowed to live." And u fucking know it is! Ever heard that christian song about how its wrong to hug someone from the front and us hould hug them from the side? and the part where they say theyl put u in a coma if u dont...?
I look at it this way, if someone did that to my dog i'd be pretty god damn angy and i don't see it being any different to do it to a stray dog, So if any one see's any Mexican "Artists" in their yard, bring your dog, inside.
About the dog... That is a complete ripoff. Bjørn Nørgaard did the exact same thing with a horse in 1970. Except he cut it in like 100 pieces and put them in glasses and they are now at Aros Art Museum in Århus, Denmark.
@ Ultima1801 -- well someone didn't hear that the the whole Vargas thing was a hope to show that most people would rather worry about the dog dying instead of the thousands and thousands of homeless people that live on the streets and have nothing to eat tonight. The dog was never starved. It was a hoax.
@ChrisPorterTheWriter but people will focus on the dog, because it is cruel and unnecessary. There are other ways to get peoples attention (and not be hated). He just sounds like an evil mother fucker.
@ShadowPuppetHomocide see that's the things, there was NO dog, it didn't exist and therefor wasn't starved to death, he CLAIMED to have starved a dog just to see people's reaction, but he never actually starved one, that's the difference.
Why do you guys answer the question of the day on this vid? I really really hope that you guys realize that this video is over a year old and that he wont check.....
QOTD: its not art in anyway, now if he wanted to put a statement like you said, the dog is dying the same way it would have died out in the wild... then yeah maybe people would understand oh maybe i should get off my lazy ass and go do something to help the environment or whatever since im caring so much for this dog, but basically he just tied a dog up like a sick loser and was like yeah thats art...
that guy is cruel to do that i mean who would tide a leaving thing (except bugs they suck) to a post and let it starve to death just............. unacceptable and pretty much cruel
QOTD: Is it art? Possibly depends on your definition of art. Was it right? No, it was a freaking terrible thing to do. His intentions were good, and it might have been a good thing that he did it, but nothing can justify killing an living creature like that. I consider it murder, same as killing a person really.
He didnt kill it though he just left it alone. It would of died anyway if there was no food.
And killing a dog is not even close to killing a human, and im tired of hearing pathetic tree huggers telling me that a human dying and a cat dying are the same. One person told me that she'd rather see a baby girl die than a cat...
It's not a matter of a dog's life being worth more or less than a human's, this just seems to be a case for killing for the sake of killing. Ending life is a bad thing, no matter how it is done. You've completely missed the point.
@chillmeister509 killing for a reason is acceptable, but having an animal who cannot defend itself and kiling it on purpose for no reason, is evil. that person deserves to be tied up, and starved to death, how would you like that? moron.
thats a horrible thing to starve the poor dog...thats not art...but instead of focusing on taht, why not do something for the thousands of kids & elderly that actually starve everyday.
That guy is sick but if that's really what it takes to get the point across then I'm glad he did it. Maybe ppl will start looking at the big picture like the fact the hundreds of ppl die the same way everyday!!! Nobody TELLS you to feed the starving and then they die and nobody says anything.
I dunno i still think thats fucked up... I mean sure he was trying to make a point but try tell that to the dog. I think there is other ways to get the msg over without that kind of cruelty
yeah it is kind of dumb to make a big deal over starving a dog when theres hundreds of our own species that are starving. but it is wrong to starve a dog just to make a point.
although i get what this guy is saying, it is never justified to take a life, human or dog, just to prove a point. He's kind of shot himself in the foot by trying to highlight flaws in people's morality whilst simultaneously showing the world he has none himself. He could have instead made a film, maybe, despicting the same thing but the dog wouldn't really be starved to death. Surely that would have been a better way to get his point across?
It's art, yes, but that doesn't make it right. It gets across a point, but he still deserves to be punished for it. The dog was defenseless and no one deserves to die to make a point.
Shit, Phil, when I joined the Army I still wasn't even allowed to buy cigarettes. I joined at 17 and went through Basic Combat Training before I turned 18.
Granted I don't smoke and never have but dammit it's ridiculous. I can rush a machine gun bunker but can't go to a bar and enjoy a beer in good company until I'm 21? Absolutely ridiculous.
I don't think starving an animal and calling it art is a very mature way to try and bring attention to larger issues. It's intense and extreme, and it didn't really help at all, in my opinion.
It is wrong, and it's not art. But it's also wrong how were all giving that "artist" all this attention, and fame. Yet it's not right how were all saying this is wrong, and there are other animals dying and starving, and we only really care about this one dog. I guess the only one that's right is Chuck Norris. ; )
relax... its a dog.... well its sick to let it starve to death.. but really... 1 billion people starve everyday!... they dont die though just dont eat enough still thats a bit more important
The starving dog controversy actually interests me a lot, in no way what so ever do I agree with what he is doing to the animal, but it does make a point that I agree with.
No one would care about this dog if it was still on the streets. Why should they care about it now? Take action.
I don't think it is art, but rather an extreme way to shed some light on problems happening that we should be aware of, but no one seems to really care. Not just about the stray animals, but about many problems happening around the world and the only way people actually stop to care or try to even help is if it happens in an extreme way where it becomes shocking news.
I reckon that this guy who starved the dog could've perhaps tried to express his artistic views in a less sick and barbaric way. Sure, he gets his point across, but to have to kill to do that is the exact same principle as most political and religious warfare! D=
What if that was you. In the dogs place how would you act? How would you feel as a vegetarian and a humane human i believe that was very sick and deranged to do so. What a sick "artist" who belongs in a freakin aslum
i dont think killing the dog was so much "art" as an artistic statement proving the famous quote "when one person dies it is a tragedy when a million die it is a statistic." but in this case he took it a step further to where one STRAY DOG is killed while hundreds of thousands are being killed around the world
lool.natural death isnt pretty nor artistic from the start.much less murder.i mean.why not find a dog in the wild whos dying?or smtng...wow...its stupid.its as if i raped a woman and called it art...look at her disgraced face..ART!!..wow
NO! Not art! He had no right to do that. Yes, it may have died of starvation anyways because it was a stray, but it deserved a chance to try and live and feed itself. Letting an animal die in no way can have a positive spin. That's just sick.
Also, people are comparing it to people dying in 3rd world countries. I think most people don't give a 2nd thought to that because it's not as shocking as someone killing a dog. But I think it's all horrible, whether it's dogs or people that are dying.
sammy thank you for being completly retarded and proving the point of this "artist", i dont think its right that he murdered a dog, but at the same time its just a fucking dog, it doesnt make a difference at all, however millions of people dying does make a difference, but since were not homeless it doesnt affect us, that is the message from the artist and you are a perfect example of the message that is trying to made.
IMO people make such a big deal about these things is because they've never SEEN a million people. That's something you can't wrap you mind around so it might as well be imaginary. One dog, however, is a whole nother ballgame. Also dogs are cute, generally speaking. People? Some ugly motherfuckers, who won't hesitate to step on your face to get what they want.
All you animal lovers who are all OH NOZ A DOGGIE DIED!!!1!11!! but then dont even give a second thought about people living worse than that dog, dieing more horrible deaths in 3rd world countries are FUBR in the head.
get your weak little minds off of one case of dog abuse and do something about real issues
I like animals but I agree with you I mean come on one stray dog dies, and like thousands of homeless people are dieing of the same reason! I mean seriously?!
That guy should rot in jail. BUt I understand what everbody is coming from about the people starving in Africa. But what should we do? throw our money at it so we end up on the streets and starving? I know tons of people who flip out when they here about people in Africa.
well...i think art evaperated long time ago so a dead dog isnt an art masterpiece, today people spill a bucket and a piece of paper and they get an artist award, whoopie, i think only people who can be called artists are the people who make signs and characters for video games and stuff
i think he was in the wrong, but on the otherhand so is 90% of amarica for overlooking over 8million starving kids and paying attention to one dead dog, when statistics point that someone dies every 12 seconds.
it sends an excellent message, i don't think it's artistic, not really sure if it's wrong, the intent is good so i don't know, either way he got starving animals some attention so it's not all bad anyway
I dont think its art in any way shape or form, the dog probably would have died still if Vargus hadnt tied him up but if vargus hadnt tied it up the dog might have had more of a chance to get some trash to eat or eat some grass, maybe even get found and taken in by someone, so all in all he is a sick bastard.
if he went on a hunger strike he would get his message out there, but people have seen huger strikes before and they dont pay much attention. so he chose a canvas that would grab at peoples hearts and emotions.
I think the point he is trying to make is a good one and theres no problem with you aggreing with his views, but fucking hell he didnt need to starve the dog to make his point, people listening if you tell them to(suprising but true)
The thing about the "art" is that the dog most likely would have died regardless. The fact that it was tied up and had attention drawn to it just made people notice.
The only problem with the whole story is that he was calling it art.. Subjecting that he actually did something to make this into what it is...So in a sense he killed the dog...Its all about circumstance
I wouldn`t call it art but its a strong metaphor for society and politics. I can`t say I like it, or that i`m not a little bit disgusted, but I get it.

@ShadowPuppetHomocide see that's the things, there was NO dog, it didn't exist and therefor wasn't starved to death, he CLAIMED to have starved a dog just to see people's reaction, but he never actually starved one, that's the difference.

QOTD: its not art in anyway, now if he wanted to put a statement like you said, the dog is dying the same way it would have died out in the wild... then yeah maybe people would understand oh maybe i should get off my lazy ass and go do something to help the environment or whatever since im caring so much for this dog, but basically he just tied a dog up like a sick loser and was like yeah thats art...

QOTD: Is it art? Possibly depends on your definition of art. Was it right? No, it was a freaking terrible thing to do. His intentions were good, and it might have been a good thing that he did it, but nothing can justify killing an living creature like that. I consider it murder, same as killing a person really.
karatesmofi 2 years ago
He didnt kill it though he just left it alone. It would of died anyway if there was no food.
And killing a dog is not even close to killing a human, and im tired of hearing pathetic tree huggers telling me that a human dying and a cat dying are the same. One person told me that she'd rather see a baby girl die than a cat...
Lordteren3 2 years ago
It's not a matter of a dog's life being worth more or less than a human's, this just seems to be a case for killing for the sake of killing. Ending life is a bad thing, no matter how it is done. You've completely missed the point.

@chillmeister509 killing for a reason is acceptable, but having an animal who cannot defend itself and kiling it on purpose for no reason, is evil. that person deserves to be tied up, and starved to death, how would you like that? moron.
btw, i have never killed anything on purpose.

although i get what this guy is saying, it is never justified to take a life, human or dog, just to prove a point. He's kind of shot himself in the foot by trying to highlight flaws in people's morality whilst simultaneously showing the world he has none himself. He could have instead made a film, maybe, despicting the same thing but the dog wouldn't really be starved to death. Surely that would have been a better way to get his point across?

I don't think starving an animal and calling it art is a very mature way to try and bring attention to larger issues. It's intense and extreme, and it didn't really help at all, in my opinion.

It is wrong, and it's not art. But it's also wrong how were all giving that "artist" all this attention, and fame. Yet it's not right how were all saying this is wrong, and there are other animals dying and starving, and we only really care about this one dog. I guess the only one that's right is Chuck Norris. ; )

I don't think it is art, but rather an extreme way to shed some light on problems happening that we should be aware of, but no one seems to really care. Not just about the stray animals, but about many problems happening around the world and the only way people actually stop to care or try to even help is if it happens in an extreme way where it becomes shocking news.

i dont think killing the dog was so much "art" as an artistic statement proving the famous quote "when one person dies it is a tragedy when a million die it is a statistic." but in this case he took it a step further to where one STRAY DOG is killed while hundreds of thousands are being killed around the world

keenth7 2 years ago
NO! Not art! He had no right to do that. Yes, it may have died of starvation anyways because it was a stray, but it deserved a chance to try and live and feed itself. Letting an animal die in no way can have a positive spin. That's just sick.
Also, people are comparing it to people dying in 3rd world countries. I think most people don't give a 2nd thought to that because it's not as shocking as someone killing a dog. But I think it's all horrible, whether it's dogs or people that are dying.
sammyxXx37 2 years ago
sammy thank you for being completly retarded and proving the point of this "artist", i dont think its right that he murdered a dog, but at the same time its just a fucking dog, it doesnt make a difference at all, however millions of people dying does make a difference, but since were not homeless it doesnt affect us, that is the message from the artist and you are a perfect example of the message that is trying to made.
kriswinz 2 years ago
IMO people make such a big deal about these things is because they've never SEEN a million people. That's something you can't wrap you mind around so it might as well be imaginary. One dog, however, is a whole nother ballgame. Also dogs are cute, generally speaking. People? Some ugly motherfuckers, who won't hesitate to step on your face to get what they want.
